Kanye West Sued By Donna Summers' Estate

Kanye West faces legal action from Donna Summer’s estate for allegedly using an uncleared sample of her work in his latest album, Vultures. The estate of the late singer, who passed away in 2012, has initiated a lawsuit against Kanye, his record label, collaborator Ty Dolla $ign, and others. They say Kanye utilized an unauthorized imitation of Summer's song "I Feel Love." Despite the estate's refusal to clear a sample of "I Feel Love" for Kanye's track "Good (Don't Die)," citing his controversial reputation, the disputed track still appeared on his album, Vultures 1. The lawsuit, filed by attorney Larry Stein, alleges that Kanye and Ty approached the estate on January 31, 2024, days before the projected February 9 release of Vultures 1, seeking clearance for the song. The estate, claiming continued ownership of a portion of the copyright, rebuffed West's request. Seeking substantial damages, Donna Summer's estate seeks an injunction to halt further distribution of the song containing the contested sample.
